There is no official naturist beach on the island of Kefalonia. However, habits were taken and naturism is now accepted if it stay discreet.
Found on the forums some people who say they have been subjected to police raids because they were naked on a beach, this information is very old and it is a bygone era.
Now, as long as you do a modicum of discretion, you will be admitted, especially on beaches that are listed below.
The beaches list can not be exhaustive because on the island of Kefalonia you can find hundreds of wonderful places where nudity will be naturally evident .

To access from the main road, either you get towards the beach kaminia the entrance of Ratzakli, then you follow the path along the beach and you leave your car at the near the "Marina Bay" hotel , just before the road turns left to go back to the main road, either, being in Ratzakli, you continue towards Skala to find the path towards the Mouda beach down to the beach directly near the Marina Bay hotel.
You walk along the beach walk a few hundred meters to the Mouda Cape (left looking at the water). You have at least one available kilometer , we meet rarely more than a couple naturist every 100 meters even in the middle of August. The calm, the sun, the sea slopes gently with a cristal clear water, the dream ! No building behind the beach dunes only. This is an important breeding loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), almost every summer night turtles leave the water to dig a nest and lay hundreds of eggs. So do not plant your umbrella in the dry sand at the back of the beach. By cons you can plant umbrella on wet sand because you will not come across a nest.
Access to the beach is forbidden the night to leave him alone turtles and patrols are made by volunteers of the association Katelios Group to protect nests, they erase the crossing traces of turtles so that curious do not destroy nests.

To access the naturist beach, walk along the beach to the right while looking at the sea. After the pine forest, a path runs along the beach with a few bars and restaurants, at the end of this path you can leave the car and continue on foot.
Skala is one of the most popular resorts on the island. The beach is huge with plenty of sunbeds to rent the entire length of the beach.
To access the nudist beach, walk along along the beach to the right while looking at the sea. After the pine forest a path runs along the beach with a few bars and restaurants, at the end of this path you can leave the car and continue on foot.
In the past you can walk between the rocks to access an isolated beach. Access has become difficult in recent years, the sand allowing to pass between the rocks has been washed away by the sea.
Naturists are now used to settling in from the end of the path. It is difficult in August because the place is so beautiful that textiles are also installed there with the family.
Loutraki beach

If you really want to enjoy a wild and secluded beach, you must discover this "secret" beach. You will usually be alone.
Coming from Ratzakli towards Skala you leave the main road by taking the path furthest to the right (orange line on the map below), at the fork you go left, continue to the end of the path and park the car where is a villa and an unfinished building. Descend on foot for about 100 meters (a bit steep but easy even with children).
You reach sandy beaches on the left and on the right. If you can not find the way, it happens to some, ask Patrick for further explanations.
Koroni beach

Please note, since the summer of 2020 this beach has become inaccessible, the path that allowed you to get there with the car cuts private land in several places, and the owner now prohibits access through his land. The court seized ruled in his favor and this beach has therefore become inaccessible. It is now only accessible with a boat!
You will find a boat rental company in Katelios at 3 km from the villas.
You can also ask Patrick to show you the inaccessible beaches with his new motorboat.
At the bottom of the beach you will see a cliff of greyish material (on the right in the photo above), it is clay with which you can coat your body.
In a small bucket (the buckets in which the Greek yogurts are sold or the buckets in which the children play with the sand will do very well), put a few pieces of stone and a little water, let the water penetrate for a few moments then knead to obtain a fluid paste, you can then coat your whole body with this ointment (all parts of the body can be coated from the feet to the scalp). Then you will let it dry in the sun.
When the clay is dry, (don't forget to take a photo in which you will look like a stone statue), you will gently rub your skin to remove the clay which will turn to dust. You will then be enchanted by the softness of your skin.
You will just have to finish by rinsing in the sea to remove the remaining clay.
In case the beach becomes accessible again by car, coming from Skala, after passing the village of Valeriano driving towards Argostoli, you will find a sign indicating on the left the direction of Koroni, follow the dirt road interspersed with passages hard, and you will reach the beach.
Leave the car in the parking lot and go to the bottom of the beach, after passing the row of deckchairs, near the rocks, this is where naturists gather.
It was before the road was blocked a beautiful beach very popular in July and August where it was difficult to be naked without interfering with textiles, except perhaps at the end of the day. Outside of this period, it remained a very quiet little beach in a fantastic setting.
If you walk a few hundred meters over the rocks to the right when you arrive at Koroni beach, you will come across nice little beaches with beautiful caves, a fantastic place where you will be alone.
Sissia beach

Only for the brave: 20 minutes walk to reach the beach, which is a beautiful walk in an enchanting setting, but don't forget that you will have to go back up!
Coming from Skala, after passing the village of Platies (driving towards Argostoli), you will find a sign indicating on the left the monastery of Sissia (also indicated Sission), take this path where you will meet a small monastery with a church in good condition. The safest way is to leave the car near this monastery to continue on foot the path that leads to the beach. If you had owned a good 4x4 you could have continued by car to the beach.
Continue on the path passing to the left of this monastery and you will come to the ruins of the old monastery of Sissia. You then discover a magnificent beach where you may be alone in the world.
In August you might meet other people, but you will be able to get naked without problem because the beach is very large, if they have swimwears, it is likely that they will undress while seeing you naked.
It is also possible that they put their swimsuit on seeing you come !
If you have the chance to discover it empty, you will experience an intense moment in a Ydillic setting.
A few years ago this beach was difficult to access and that is why it was known under the name of "Paradisi" (little paradise). Not everyone can reach Heaven.
